Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied a report claiming that former U.S. President Donald Trump prevented an Israeli attack on Iran. The Financial Times, citing informed sources, reported that the Israeli military was prepared to launch strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, sites linked to the Iranian regime, and civilian infrastructure, including energy facilities, during the weekend of October 10. The report stated that Trump opposed resuming hostilities before the U.S. elections.
However, The Jerusalem Post published a conflicting report, also citing its sources, which stated that the Israeli military was not preparing for an imminent attack on October 10 as described by the Financial Times. According to The Jerusalem Post, military preparations at that time were related to other security possibilities, including the potential for Iran to launch an attack or a joint military operation with the United States.
These two accounts present differing narratives regarding the nature of Israeli preparations at that specific time. The full details of the plan mentioned by the British newspaper have not been publicly clarified.
